Brian Coar, 25, a former math teacher at Whippany Park High School pleaded guilty today to a charge of child endangerment in a case where he was charged as the result of an “inappropriate relationship” with a 17-year-old student between September 2007 and February of this year, when the student turned 18.

Coar’s plea will be dismissed once he completes three years in a pre-trial intervention program and does 200 hours of community service.

Reportedly Coar and the student only began a sexual relationship after she turned 18 in February, so he wasn’t charged with a sexual crime. The prosecutor said that Coar and the girl researched the law regarding when sexual relations between them would no longer be a crime.

Coar surrendered his teaching certificate and promised never to pursue a job in education as part of the plea deal.

Reportedly Coar came to the attention of authorities in May and was charged on October 20 with child endangerment on the basis that engaged in a “personal relationship” with the student and failed to uphold his professional relationship with her while he was her teacher.
